Global Ride Cycling DVD’s

Gino Nacey of Global Ride hooked Ride-Strong.com up with their Global Ride Virtual Cycling DVDs. When you are training indoors on your trainer these DVD’s are perfect.

Global Ride has introduced a completely different type of Indoor Cycling DVD than most of the industry has been accustomed to.  The video is shot in first person perspective so that you get the feeling that you are the one riding on the road.  They have been extensively reviewed on line at Cycling Blogs as well as Amazon, and it turns out they are highly regarded by everyone who watches them.

These DVDs are a refreshing change from watching a static movie of other sad cyclists who are forced to ride indoors instead of training where we all like to – outside.  They also give the viewer plenty of choices for using their music (which we like very much), or your own, or listening to a number of different coaches, or no coaching at all.  

These make a great addition to your own training library, or if you teach at a local fitness facility, you can encourage them to purchase their own copy, and you can teach to them to add some variety to your indoor classes.

Naturally, no one wants to ride indoors when the weather is good, and so this is the “slow season” for Global Ride.  Oh and by the way, each DVD has a bonus 30 minute section on Yoga, Pilates or Strength Training designed specifically for cyclists.  

We spent a lot of money on getting commercial music too – not the “royalty free crap” that most indoor fitness videos use. Gino Nacey

Grease Monkey Wipes – Don’t Be Afraid To Play Dirty!

Erin and Tim the owners of Grease Monkey Wipes based out of Austin, TX  hooked Ride-Strong.com up with some of their Grease Monkey Wipes. It is a cool handy product that is easy to pack with you.

I have to say I am a clean freak and these wipes are great because they are individually package and easy to take with you or store in your saddle bag. The other good thing about the wipes is that they are more durable than your normal wipes so you can really scrub to get the dirt and grease off.
